Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I want to reinforce that I think all Members are in support of this moving ahead, but I am disappointed that we have not had more of an opportunity to provide advice on the development of these programs.

The Minister will know, as he heard a number of us speak earlier this week when we were talking about the energy strategy, of our concerns that a program that was developed very quickly and without a lot of consultation may have had some flaws in it.

That is our concern. Without that adequate consultation taking place, without the discussion around the table that we had expected that we would hear on this, we may be missing the boat in some way, shape or form that we could better have dealt with if we had a better consultative process.

My point is that we have to move forward with this. It is too important to stall. I am going to support this expenditure, but I am certainly looking for a commitment from this government that when we are told there will be a consultative process, they in fact will follow through with that and make sure it does not become a time issue, that we set things up so that there is a process. Members are involved in the consultation and then we can all be confident in the role of the program, that we are not going to find problems in it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
